Once can see things clearly w a 600 mil lens...

On 18 September, The Today Show did a demonstration to show just how close one can get from great distances using powerful telephoto lenses.  

They interviewed a former paparazzi who used a 600mil lens with a doubler and a good camera. He was situated in Brooklyn Heights and his "target" was located at the Sea Port in Manhattan, across the East River. Over 6 miles away!  

While some of the super close up shots are not very recognizable, you get the idea.  With a good strong lens and a good camera, you can catch just about anyone doing anything. 

Photography in the age of paparazzi

And here is a demonstration of just how close one can get from a great distance
